  • With most of the rivers not open until the 01 April, I decided to take up the long overdue invite to go and fish the River Taff. My host for the day was Terry Bromwell he has been fishing the rivers of South Wales since he was 5 or 6 worming and catching some superb trout. His family are big into fishing and shooting so he was always outside doing something or other, whatever the weather. The past few years he have been representing Wales in the river internationals where he has competed against the home nations. in 2013 he won his first Brown Bowl and Wales won gold. In 2014 he was the proud captain of a Gold Winning Welsh team.
    It's safe to say I could not have been in better hands. Having met Terry at the International Grayling Festival several years back we have remained firm friends. The day looked incredibly promising surely I would get my season of the mark?
    How did your opening day go, has it even happened yet? Let me know in the comments section below.

    Great video, the Taff truly is a magnificent river, you wouldn't think that quality of fish would live in such a moody urban waterway, and that includes the Rhondda. Come back in a few months and the big girls will be out.

      I am afraid it has a fair amount of litter. That’s the problem with running through an urban area.

    Hard to believe we're only coming out of winter and there are fish of that quality in the river. It looks like they've been feeding well. Great video Lindsay and Terry!

    Hi Lindsay, Really enjoyed your video 👍 It makes a nice change to see you fishing on our fantastic UK rivers, especially as these rivers happen to be in Wales 😀 I have never actually Fly fished on the Rivers Taff or Rhondda …but watching Terry and yourself have certainly motivated me to give it a go during the season. best regards, Wayne

Believe it or not, I now work at Grangemouth and will be fishing this weekend at the Avonbank Fishery / Millhall Reservoir tomorrow… not quite a river, but for a small water it is fishing superbly well at the moment in the Scottish sunshine ☀️ regards, Wayne 👍
